Chapter 271: Shocked! (Bonus Chapter!)
The tender sound of crying echoed!
The Red Dragon let out a long sigh, having no other choice either!
Although Mila was 26 years old, she had spent 20 years in the laboratory!
Every day, she was subjected to inhuman dismemberment and sampling!
No one knew what her current condition really was!
It seemed like she couldn't even speak anymore...
Jiangnan's heart ached as he gently rubbed the little girl's head: "Be good! Little Mila! Don't cry!"
"Big brother isn't abandoning you! We won't be separated! Be good!"
Watching Jiangnan's gentle demeanor, Bai Qianxun's heart melted!
This man always made people fall for him in the most inexplicable ways!
"Then just take her along for now! An examination still needs to be done!"
"Once you get to Jingdu, contact the research institute—their equipment is more advanced!"
"After the results come out, the higher-ups will decide how to arrange for Mila!"
Jiangnan was taken aback: "What am I going to Jingdu for?"
The Red Dragon rolled his eyes: "The All-Star Game! You're not participating?"
Jiangnan's body stiffened: "Oh crap! What's the date today?"
He had completely forgotten about this matter!
Red Dragon: "Don't bother checking! The game was supposed to start two days ago!"
"The higher-ups fought for an extra week for you—the game was postponed just to wait for you to come back!"
"We can't let our little hero's heart grow cold!"
Jiangnan was stunned. Was he really that important?
The entire All-Star Game was postponed just for him?
Bai Qianxun grinned: "If you don't bring back a championship, you'll be letting us all down!"
Tang Shi clenched her fists: "Go, Nanshen! I'll be watching your livestream!"
Mountain Cat smiled: "Make the most of this opportunity! Hurry up and get to Gold—I'll take you to play in the Void Sea!"
How could Jiangnan dare to delay?
After saying goodbye to the Red Dragon and the others, he planned to head straight to Jingdu!
But just as he was about to get into the car, Mountain Cat grabbed him.
"Come... come with me! I have something to tell you!"
Jiangnan was puzzled!
He was still pulled by Mountain Cat into a small grove nearby.
"What is it, Sister Shanmiao?"
Coming all the way to such a secluded place?
Mountain Cat's pretty face flushed red. She took a deep breath, mustering up her courage!
She bent slightly, lowered her head, and pressed her smooth forehead against Jiangnan!
Jiangnan: ???
"Th-this is..."
What was this supposed to be?
What was she trying to do?
Was she going to headbutt him?
Mountain Cat's earlobes were bright red!
"I lost the bet! It was agreed upon! Can't go back on it!"
"You get to flick my forehead!"
Jiangnan burst out laughing!
Sister Shanmiao! How can you be this adorable?
My heart is melting, okay?
She actually still remembered that bet?
Mountain Cat closed her eyes tightly, her earlobes burning red!
"Are you going to flick me or not? If not, then I'm not giving you the chance anymore! I—"
"Clang!"
Out of nowhere! A crisp sound!
Mountain Cat suddenly covered her head—a big red bump had appeared on her forehead!
She couldn't help but glare fiercely at Jiangnan!
Did you have to use that much force?
Jiangnan was now clutching his fingers, tears welling up in his eyes!
"Ahhh—my finger! It's broken! Almost!"
[From Luo Tianhong's Resentment Points: +1000!]
What do you mean by that?
Are you saying my head is really tough?
"Who told you to use so much force? Hmph! Serves you right!"
"Hurry up and get in the car!"
Jiangnan grinned, pulled out a Marrow Cleansing Fruit and a White Rabbit candy from his pocket, and shoved them into her hand!
"Hehe! Remember to eat them!"
Mountain Cat looked at the two items in her hand, shook her head, and smiled softly.
...
Nan Shen: *Ding ding ding! Is Xuexue home?*
Zhong Yingxue: (*ﾟﾛﾟ*)!!
*Xiao Nan? You're back?*
Nan Shen: *Where are you guys in Jingdu? Come pick me up! It might be a bit inconvenient for me to move around.*
Zhong Yingxue: *Okay, okay! Wait for us!*
At that moment, on the train, an extremely cute giant panda plushie was clumsily poking at its phone screen with heavy bear paws...
The passengers on the train occasionally cast strange glances at it, whispering among themselves!
Jiangnan wore a look of utter despair: "So hot..."
I had no choice either, okay?
Being this black, there was no way I could go out and face anyone!
To protect the dream of 900 million girls from shattering,
it was better to hide inside the plushie...
At that very moment, at the train station!
Zhong Yingxue, Xia Yao, and the other two had all come!
Even Little Fish had tagged along!
They were scanning the station endlessly!
Xia Yao: "Where's Xiao Nan? The time's already passed! Why haven't we seen him?"
Zhong Yingxue: "Let's wait a bit more, the time should be right!"
"Ugh! Being followed and photographed again! So annoying!"
Not far from them, quite a few reporters and paparazzi were lurking!
Every All-Star Game contestant was a key target!
Not to mention Jiangnan's *Words Spoken Are All That Matters* team, which was in the crosshairs!
After all, Jiangnan was now a super hot topic!
Although the reason for delaying the game hadn't been announced, it was almost certain that it was because of Jiangnan!
Just then, a chubby panda plushie waddled over awkwardly!
"Are these lovely young ladies waiting for someone?"
Xia Yao: "I'm not buying balloons..."
Jiangnan: ???
"Pfft! Do I look like someone selling balloons?"
Xia Yao recognized the voice and was stunned, then her eyes lit up with surprise: "Xiao Nan? Is that you?"
She immediately pounced on him in a tiger hug, grabbed the panda ears, and yanked upward!
"Hey! Don't—"
The headpiece was pulled off directly by Xia Yao!
Yu Qingqing's eyes went wide as she stared at Jiangnan, who was as black as a ghost, her face filled with terror!
She was almost crying: "Is... is Africa really that scary?"
How did the Sailor Moon turn into Blade?
Zhong Yingxue covered her mouth: "Pfft... hahahaha!"
Xia Yao's expression visibly froze, and she quickly stuffed the headpiece back on!
Now she finally understood why Jiangnan was wearing the plushie outfit...
She couldn't help but look guilty: "Well... it doesn't matter! No one will see anything!"
Beside them, the lurking reporters and paparazzi were so excited their faces turned red!
"Holy crap! Shoot! That's Jiangnan! Definitely Jiangnan!"
"Breaking news! Hahaha!"
"30-shot burst, got it!"
Cameras clicked rapidly, flashes going off nonstop!
Jiangnan: ...
You're really lying through your teeth, aren't you?
I wore this plushie outfit all the way here for nothing!
"Iyah~"
A baby's voice came from inside the plushie outfit!
"Big Wolf Fire! Stop hugging! You're crushing the baby!"
Xia Yao quickly let go of Jiangnan, completely stunned!
Zhong Yingxue and Yu Qingqing opened their mouths wide, their minds blank!
A baby?
What baby?
Where did a baby come from?
You went to Africa, got yourself this black, and now you even have a kid?
That was way too fast!
Wu Liang looked uneasy: "I didn't expect to become an uncle so soon. I haven't prepared anything, so I'll just..."
Jiangnan jumped up and gave Wu Liang a hard knock on the head!
"Nonsense! I'll explain when we get back!"
They hailed a cab and headed straight for the hotel!
Meanwhile, the reporters and paparazzi raced back to their companies like madmen!
They immediately posted the first-hand information to Weibo!
**Shocking! Pacifier War God Jiangnan Returns from Africa with a Baby! Was the Delay Because He Had to Feed the Baby?**

*A photo of Jiangnan with his headpiece pulled off, black as a ghost!*
**Shocking! Is This a Distortion of Human Nature or a Collapse of Morality?**

At Ye Family Villa, Ye Xingxuan was sprawled on the sofa in a tank top and shorts, lazily scrolling through Weibo!
Suddenly, her eyes went wide!
"Pfft... hahahaha! What the heck?!"
She laughed so hard she kicked her legs!
"Ah!"
Her phone fell onto her face, smacking her forehead red!
"Grandpa! Jiangnan is in Jingdu! And he brought a daughter! His face is so black with anger!"
Ye Daotian: ???
"Huh?"
